Citroen confirmed as Eco Velocity's first participant sign-up

Citroen will showcase its “green” credentials with a full range of vehicles on display, including its 100% electric city car, the C-Zero, as well as micro-hybrid e-HDi versions of DS3, DS4 and New C4.

EcoVelocity's Event Director, Giles Brown, said: 'The C-Zero has already created an enormous stir in the world of motoring since its launch, and we are very pleased to welcome it at EcoVelocity and offer visitors a chance to test it out on our track.'

Citroen UK managing director, Linda Jackson, added: 'Citroen is focused on improving fuel economy and lowering emissions right across our range – as well as encouraging motorists to make environmentally conscious driving decisions. With concept cars like Survolt showcasing future potential for eco-technologies in motorsports, and the zero-emissions C-Zero providing a practical solution for ‘green’ city driving today, we feel Citroën is taking the right steps. We’re delighted to be taking part in EcoVelocity, an event that helps to highlight the importance of driving cleaner, greener cars in our urban environments.'
